BBS evolved into forums, you won't admit this because they don't look shitty enough.

All same shit for IRC. BBS and IRC are dead after 2005 except for spergs jacking off. If you happen to fall for this BS, guaranteed wasted 10-20 years of hating on the current state of the web, then there's only 5 people left that you can talk to, can't fit in with 99% of the world, then suicide.

Ok so I have reason to believe that I have a rootkit that is fucking with some part of my computer, likely my hard drive. It's at 100% use just about all the time and my pc in general runs VERY slowly. As I understand with rootkits, your best bet is to wipe the hard drive somehow. My retarded ass threw away the win10 disk. I'm willing to buy another but should I use DBAN or will a format be enough?

So I had Win7 installed via the loader method and at some point, not even sure when or how it went down, but it updated to Win10.

Anyway, now I'm wanting to do a fresh install (I've done this periodically every two years or so, or whenever I get a lot of new hardware at once) and am worried about it because of the way I had acquired Windows.

Can't find guides/threads about this anywhere. Am I safe to just grab a bootable for Windows 10, say install (wiping my C: SSD in the process) or is it not going to work. From what I've gathered, Microsoft registers your hardware with their server with Win10, so I guess since I've been running it for about a year now and it thinks its legit I should be fine.

Is there another method to doing this (getting a fresh install, clean slate everything except one of my other drives where I keep photos, etc)?

>>55183284No I got what I want backed up, what I'm asking about is weather or not Windows on the new install is going to stay activated since it's already activated now (which if I'm understanding correctly means I'm hardware ID'd okay by Microsoft) or am I going to end up with an unregistered install and either need to find a new method for Win10 (which I haven't looked around for yet) or I guess worst case scenario I can downgrade to Win7 and then upgrade again after.

Suppose there's a VR simulator that featured a virtual race course which was an identical rendering of a real one; would you be willing to drive that course on a motorcycle with an oculus helmet strapped on?

>>55182995Man, it is going to be amazing when the 480 turns out to be fucked somehow. Much as I want to, I refuse to believe AMD has stepped up their game. I don't dare to hope nvidia will actually have a competitor again and we might start moving slightly faster than molassas for GPUs again.

This shit drives me nuts. I don't understand why companies want to miss out on IT guys that can work for cheap for the few years they acquire experience.
